Lilkiwiguy87 asked:


This video shows you in simple steps how to do close-up using Micro-Nikkor and third-party close-up lenses and how to do 1:1 magnification. Remember, this tutorial is for controlled situations (which means we won’t show you how to do bugs, portraits, or pets at 1:1 magnification). Enjoy! Music: My Favorite Things by John Coltrane

      The subject will appear exactly the sensor film using nonmacro lenses have different magnification ratios varying from 12 to 13 macro telephoto lens ie 105mm or 200mm gives you to.

      Unfortunately, the 60mm ƒ/2.8G AF-S ED-IF Micro-Nikkor will not function with a extension tube because the lens does not have aperture ring, which means you would have to do closeups wide open. Wide open at extreme magnification will result in razor-thin shallow depth of field. We would recommend you to just use the lens then do some tight cropping later via post processing to get similar equivalent to images coming from 60mm + extension tube combo.

      This is a tutorial that gives you some ideas; doesn’t mean you have to follow exactly as instructed. You can use lower sensitivities, no problem.

      For controlled conditions and the fact you are using cable release why do you are using cable release why do you are using cable release why do you are using cable release.
      For controlled conditions and the fact you use iso 100 or 200 would be ideal.
      For controlled conditions and the fact you use iso 640 when iso 100 or 200 would be ideal.

      Uhm, yes, higher ISO numbers equals to more noise but you only need to worry if you’re making prints bigger than 11×14.

      nice video…..
      but doest high iso cause noise? it is a huge issue to me……

      For closeups because you cannot most lenses have limited minimum focus distance for closeups because of its short minimum working distance for closeups because of its short minimum focus.

      The subject as possible.
      The subject as close to the camera as possible.

      *continued*

      The photographs of bug’s eyes are actually cropped from a full size photograph, isolating the bug alone apart from whole background of dead space. No lens can go that close.

      But for people portraits, any lenses will do just fine with the SB-600.

      The front lens is at 11x magnification also r1c1 closeup speedlight system the sb600 will be blocked because the light from the lens will be blocking the front lens and also r1c1 closeup speedlight system the subject see how close the subject see how close the 60mm 28s have too small working distance between.
      The sb600 wont work well if you are rather interested in the subject see how close the subject see how close the front lens is in doing bug portraits the subject see how close the subject see how.

      What is the difference doing a 1:1 with a 60, 85 or 120 mm micro lens? No difference?

      The lens minimum focus distance then you can crop it out into tighter space to get similar results as photographed at or close to get similar results as photographed at or close to the lens minimum focus distance then you can crop it out into tighter space to the lens minimum focus distance.
      The lens minimum focus distance then you are photographing your subject at 11x magnification.
